I painted this on location in Granbury off Hwy 144. The sumac bushes were what caught my eye. The sun was out and it warmed up to a lovely 70 degrees. I used a palette knife to paint this. It is available for purchase and would make a great Christmas gift. $100.00

The forecast for Wednesday was temperatures in the seventies with calm winds. When I heard that I scheduled a day off work. I was not disappointed.

I have passed this spot daily and thought I could find something here to paint. The sumac bushes appeared to be glowing in the morning sun. It was a good spot and a great morning.
I painted this with a #28 Galleria (1 1/4" wide). It was a challenge on such a small canvas.

This was my second attempt at a painting in the fog. It was too thick at my first stop and I ended up with a wiper. I drove up the hill and found this spot. The sun was trying to burn the clouds away, but the fog stayed around a long time. I challenged myself by using a larger brush on this one. I used a #28 Galleria, that is 1 1/4 of an inch wide. This is available for purchase. $125.00

I created this during a workshop with Olivette Hubler last weekend. We were painting in an area on Edward's road that is one big flat rock. I am always inspired when we paint here and usually do have a great time while there. This day was no exception. Everyone in the class seemed to have a good time and were equally inspired. This is available for purchase through CFAI.http://www.cfai.co/sherijones

﻿I created this during a plein air workshop I took with Olivette Hubler. I was working behind the Benard Museum on the Paluxy River. A woman had come down to purchase a window in memory of her late husband at the museum. You can purchase the windows and have them restored. She watched me paint for a while and decided she wanted to purchase my painting. I was about halfway through it and agreed to finish it and ship it out when it dried. I love it when that happens.

I painted this during a recent workshop I took with Olivette Hubler. She suggested we bring large brushes and some large canvases. This was the largest I've painted outdoors and loved using my 2 inch brush. Bigger the canvas, bigger the brush.

I painted this during a workshop I took with Olivette Hubler. She did a demo each morning and I found this so helpful in understanding her approach. I really admire her work and loved the workshop. It has been great being outside painting these last three days. The mornings started off cold, but we had clear skies and warm temperatures for the most part. This house is in Heritage Park in Glen Rose, Texas.

I painted this today in Glen Rose during a workshop with Olivette Hubler. She's a great artist and I am excited to be in her class. This park is along the Paluxy River and has a number of beautiful old buildings they have brought in. There is a lot to choose from to paint. It turned into a great day with temperatures in the seventies.

I painted this in the studio after a plein air adventure with my friend Joyce Thomas. I was still inspired and knew I had one more in me. I enjoyed using my left over paint and a palette knife on this one. The location is at a beautiful spot in the Paluxy area. This is available for purchase.

This was inspired by photos I took in the Ft. Worth Botanical Garden. The bright poppies grabbed my attention. It was a fun dance with my palette knife. It is available for purchase through Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, Texas.

This was painted at Lake Granbury's Hunter Park on Saturday. This was the second painting I did that day. When I first drove up I couldn't see this tractor through the fog. By the time I got to painting it the sun was just right. It was a challenge, but a lot of fun to paint. This is available for purchase. $175.00

I met my friends, Joyce Thomas, Jill Randall, Olivette Hubler and Terry Moore at Hunter Park on Lake Granbury Saturday morning. We found plenty of inspiration. The grasses are turning a golden color in the morning sun and the trees are starting to change too. It was great to be outside and enjoying the nice weather with good friends. I painted this with a palette knife.
This is available for purchase. $125.00Sheri@sheriart.nethttp://www.sheriart.net/http://www.sheriart.blogspot.com/

About Me

I have studied painting and glass work for over 25 years, constantly learning from diverse
artists and workshops. I consider myself a colorist and feel it speaks volumes in whatever
medium or subject I choose to use. My goal is to push boundaries, growing through
experimentation, variety and brush mileage.
My recent inspirations come from plein air work. Painting outdoors or working from life has
proven to be an exhilarating and challenging experience. I am inspired to record my
observations and experiences on canvas. I hope as you view my work, you will sense the
pleasure I receive from the painting process and my gratitude to God for the artistic ability
He has given me.
